In the comments, gamers criticized the perceived high price of the game — $70 for the standard edition on PC and $109 on PlayStation 5. The Ultimate edition for consoles is an eye-watering $189.

"Remember, never pre-order Ubisoft games," one user warned.

Moreover, many players expressed disappointment at the lack of actual gameplay footage in the trailer, which consisted entirely of cinematic scenes.

Always remember - the best part about a Ubisoft game is usually the trailers
